CT City are out of luck

IN A disappointing start to their PSL promotion/relegation playoffs, Cape Town City endured a frustrating goalless draw against Orbit College on Saturday at their home ground. The Citizens, looking to secure their place in the Premiership, were unable to capitalise on their home advantage against a determined College side.

Despite dominating possession with a notable 62 percent, Coach Diogo Peral’s men couldn’t convert their control into goals. City attempted nine shots on target, yet only three troubled the College goalkeeper, highlighting their inability to find the back of the net.

Reflecting on the match, Peral expressed his disappointment, stating, “A draw at home is not good enough. It’s not what we wanted. At home you need to get results, the points. But I thought it was a fair result; both teams had similar chances. Now we need to go on the road and get the points.”

The performance will undoubtedly weigh heavily on the minds of the City players as they prepare to take on Casric Stars in their next match. Casric also played to a goalless draw against College in their opening game, making tomorrow’s encounter pivotal for both teams as they search for their first points in the playoff series.

Supporters will be hoping that City can turn around their fortunes against Casric Stars, as the quest to maintain their Premiership status intensifies. The upcoming match presents a crucial opportunity for the Citizens to bounce back and gain vital points in their promotion/relegation battle.
